Hearts that Host Jesus

16.11.25

Galatians 6:9 (ESV)

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

2 Thessalonians 3:13 (ESV)

“As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.”

The person (or ideology) we host determines the fruit you bear.

The picture we idol paints the person you are.

Let us consider this with the framework of soil…

Soil that is soft is a heart that is humble.

Humility is the bedrock for fruit and abundant fruit.

When dependency on The Lord becomes the rest and resolve we live by and live in, we

reap harvests that are beyond the paradigma4 dr1`ewq of this world’s

understanding; whether that is health or finance, including…character, positional,

generational.

Focal Point:

Be on watch that the soil of your heart is soft soil, ready to discern between good and evil,

dependant and receptive to the seeds that come from Jesus.

As we do, multiplication is the inheritance of dependence.

God fashions and forms abundance beyond systems and flows because the result of the

abundance is Glory given back to God, it is fruit unto righteousness. A righteousness that

shines like the sun. His abundance speaks of His Glory and His Glory speaks to His radiance

and wonder.

Tension:

There are 3 core tensions presented here that we come up against.

Before we get to the tensions, let us be reminded that the Kingdom of God is an upside

Kingdom. To see good, fruitfulness, we don’t attack the enemy with effort and might, but we

tend inward and remain upward. When our gaze is on the lamb of God, vulnerable yet

determined to see that His Kingdom has a landing pad on my heart, it’s in THAT position we

see breakthrough.

Tensions

1. Hardened Soil2. Shallow Soil

3. Crowded Soil

Fertile Soil is where it is neither hard, shallow nor crowded, but soft, deep, and

consecrated.

The Parable of the Sower

3 And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they

sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,

6 but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.

7 Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.

8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some

thirty.

9 He who has ears, let him hear.”

Matthew 13:18–23 (ESV)

Jesus Explains the Sower

18 “Hear then the parable of the sower:

19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes

and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.

20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately

receives it with joy,

21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution&
